    M1010 Convoy Truck

    Nice to see another fine example of saving/preserving and re-purposing a great historic vehicle. I commend you. I also see you are still trusting and using the Paradox rear cylinder cooling kit. I installed a kit on my 1008 several years ago and never looked back.

    A1r 1079 up for auction
